How does the moisture content of cocoa nibs affect milling efficiency and final powder quality?

Moisture content is crucial—too much moisture can lead to clumping, reduced milling efficiency, and microbial risks, while overly dry nibs may lead to dust issues and suboptimal flavor extraction. Precise pre-drying and monitoring ensure that nibs are within the optimal moisture range before milling, allowing systems like GlobeCore Colloid Mills to operate efficiently.
